IMO this is very valid. My own experience was that writing a compiler by hand (albeit using a language with inbuilt RE handling) was much easier than using some of the popular tools. And the hand-written nature of the parser helped produce good error messages. It wouldn't have worked without some basic rules being established and for sure they were hard to decide on. But once in place the rest of it was easier. If it's of help to the OP I wrote it up in a fairly long post at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.misc/ZsdLITOXL-w/discussion It was for a compiler but the points should apply well to an assembler too.
